The Terrible Tail

O J - 14 May 2004 16:40 GMT Hi All,
I had just gotten up to get DH some breakfast when the "Terrible Tail" struck again. Crash, clatter, clatter!
The terrible tail is the one attached to my boy Sumo. He was walking through the work area of my desk to get to the window shelf that DH installed for the kitties when several objects (according to Sumo) leapt from their place on the desk to the floor.
His sweet face looks innocent, but I have my doubts.
Regards and Purrs, O J Gritmon

He often whips me in the face with it, or brushes things off the table. His tail is incredibly strong.

Hopitus2 - 14 May 2004 23:55 GMT BT Rowdy has a strong, muscular tail which he always wags 'round and 'round (!) in a propeller-like motion, as I've stated before. I've never seen anything like that in a pet's tail movement. But he is a strong, muscular dude cat in general, all 19# of him.

My Nyota (RB) used to flick me with her tail. One day I was fed up with it and told her the next time she flicked me in the face with it I was going to bite it. She looked at me, then flicked my face, so I bit her tail. Was she shocked! She said "ME OW!" and got off my lap in a hurry. (I really didn't bite hard!) and sat on the floor giving me very dirty looks. <G> She was quite the character!

Sounds like Mojo, his tail is almost pre-hensile and well over a foot long he can knock mugs and glasses of the arm of the chair with a casual sweep, so casual, that an unknowing might think it was accidental, not!

Squeaker's tail is his own worst enemy. It attacks him, chases him, smacks him in the head, sways just at the edge of his vision, and frustrates his relaxation time (of which there is not enough).
Of course said tail must be attacked and conquered. Usually this is done when on the tall cat tree in the dungeon, I mean dining room. Poor Squeakers, the tail chases him up and down the tree, insolently slaps him in the face, and laughs at him when he pauses to get his breath back. It is a mean customer and even bites back on the rare occasions that Squeakers catches and tries to bite it into submission. Tails ain't got no class.
